Blessings sign faux weathered wood
Using some scrap wood found in the garage I decided to add the word “blessings” since it would be placed in our
dinning room.
Supplies
Carbon Mill Finish PaperStain
SharpiePencil
Acrylic Paint, Steel Gray and White
I painted the wood using some grey craft paint using a dry brush.
I Found a font I liked in word and printed out “Blessings.”
I traced the letters using carbon paper directly onto the wood.
I wanted the wood to look worn so I took the electric drill and had some fun (shhh…don’t tell my husband)
I then dipped a pencil into the stain jar and filled in the distressed areas. I guess you could call this the poor mans stain pen. (tee hee)
Then wiped the excess away, I wanted it darkened just a little bit.
I added a mixture of real white pumpkins, faux pears and a few of my painted grey pumpkins.
Wow…I love it! What a great little piece to have made.
Beautiful! I love this idea. Such an unexpected centerpiece.
That is elegant simplicity!
What a pretty idea, perfect for Thanksgiving.
It looks great Kristin! I just pinned a similar weathered board on pinterest….great idea for a centerpiece!

Process and finished project, just PERFECT. Blessings is my tag line – I've said it and written it every day since I was about 11, so I have a special affinity for anything made using the word. I love that you used your work as a centerpiece. Beautiful. P.S. I love power tools too!
It looks amazing, Kristin! What a great idea for a centerpiece.
That turned out really cute, Kristin! Great job :O)
Happy Autumn!

I love your BLESSINGS! Thanks for sharing, I was wondering how using a sharpie would work (since I'm not to steady with a paint brush)now I know it can work beautifully~
